Following payment resumption, Romania will attract over EUR150 million.
According to the ministry, some 3,400 financing contracts were signed through the program.
The four unblocked axes draw about 80% of the EU funds allotted to the entire program.
The European Commission suspended the regional operational program at the end of October 2012 due to fund mismanagement problems between 2009 and 2011. The program’s Axis 6 will remain blocked.
Romania’s EU fund absorption rate through the program was 24.3% at the end of March 2013, or EUR920 million, significantly higher compared with other operational programs.
The country was allotted EUR3.72 billion through POR.
